012 - Tractor Attachment - Yanmar SA425 Grapple

This shows the setup and choice of the Yanmar grapple matched to the SA425 Tractor. I break down the choice, type, setup, demonstration, and repair of this new grapple as I learn. Welcome to Outbuilding! These videos chronicle projects both at home and at this coastal property. With several outbuildings and a coastal climate, there is no shortage of landscaping, timber, renovation, repair, and upkeep projects. This build involves some tractor time, some explanation, and some setup of the hydraulic actuated grapple for the SA425. Special thanks to Bob Kuperus at Brimm Tractor for tracking down this implement as they weren't available when I first purchased the tractor. This is the another "full release" episode for @outbuildinginfo, a channel devoted to building things, tools, and new design ideas. The previous episodes helped develop the channel voice, learn the video creation tools, and develop a pattern for documenting building projects, reviewing tools, and sharing workshop enhancements along with occasional howto's. This is only the beginning of a number of fun videos as we learn more about this property and engage all that it will take to remove invasive weeds, plant new sequoia and other trees for this climate, and likely rebuild the house as a mostly off grid and sustainable retreat. Thanks for sharing in the adventure. Until next time, we will be out building. episode 012 related links The day we got the tractor:    • 004 - New Yanmar SA425 Tractor with Backho...   The top link and setup:    • 008 - Tractor Attachment.. Hydraulic Top L...   music credits (licensed) Blue On - Assaf Ayalon Light Love - Paper Planes Better Days - Paper Planes chapters 00:00 beginning 00:12 introduction 02:09 setup 03:02 3rd function choice 04:45 first use 08:01 root raking 09:26 hydraulic leak 10:35 conclusion
